“After one class, I was convinced,” said TullerUss. “I like that all the teachers are dance professionals because you can learn from what they are saying and doing. You learn the little things you can absorb from them; they know what it’s like to be a professional dancer. Plus, they are always there for us no matter what we need.” - Lillian TullerUss (LPSD student)

But don’t expect to see “struggle and strife” in the piece, says Rea-Fisher. “I’m not interested in any type of Black pain,” she says. “I was only interested in celebrating this incredible woman that everyone should know about. It felt disrespectful to go about the piece any other way.”

THE DANCE ENTHUSIAST ASKS: Tiffany Rea-Fisher on the Adirondack Diversity Initiative, Her Purchase Conservatory Education, EMERGE125, and Dancers' Transferable Skills | By Theo Boguszewski
One of the many reasons I’m excited for this job is I talk about dancers having transferable skills. While the Adirondack Diversity Initiative has nothing to do with dance in any way shape or form, I was very clear that I’m an artist and I’m approaching this from an art and culture lens.At the end of the day, who we are is our art and our art makes up our culture. So, this work will hopefully allow people of color in this area to live a little more out loud. - Tiffany Rea-Fisher

“I aim to do the most good in as many places as possible. I feel that the arts can be a vehicle for good – but they can also be harmful. I vowed that if I were ever in the front of the room, I’d be a good memory. If you really care about your craft, you have to care about the next generation that will carry the torch.”
